It's a shame that there isn't a good alternative for Apple devices, though. iOS doesn't have much by the way of good ad blockers.

It’s a shame that ~~there isn’t a good alternative for Apple devices, though. iOS doesn’t have much by the way of good ad blockers~~ Apple infringes on your property rights by refusing to relinquish control of your device to you, the owner, even after they "sold" it to you.

FTFY.

A little agressive, but yes, they dont reliquish access to your devce after purchase. "Calling home" being the catch-all term for devices that are fully or parially sending requests to its true owners for commands to run or data to give.

Don't worry as iOS is soon allowing browsers to use their own engines, meaning Firefox is working on Gecko for iOS so not only will you soon be able to install adblockers and whatnot, but also we can finally get the official Tor browser on iOS.
